literary  varieties  of  the  great  authors  of  Europe  and  America,

1 Adams,  John  Quincy.  President  of  the  United  States. 
Autograph  letter,  signed,  4 pages,  4to.  St.  Petersburg, 
May  13,  1812. 

A highly  hit  ere  sling  letter  on  the  eve  of  the  War  of  1812^ 
in  which  he  gives  his  views  of  the  political  co7idition  of  Europe 
and  in  reference  to  his  oivn  country,  he  says : 

“Id  reflecting:  upon  your  observations  with  regard  to  the  policy  of 
a war  with  England,  I am  happy  to  find  your  opinion  perfectly  con- 
curring with  m}'  own.  We  want  neither  provocation  nor  cause  for 
War.  But  unfortunately  neither  the  most  righteous  cause,  nor  the  most 
atrocious  provocation  are  the  principal  objects  of  calculation,  when 
the  question  is  upon  the  polic}’  of  War.  They  decide  indeed  the 
question  of  its  justice,  but  have  very  little  weight  upon  that  of  its 
Prudence.  The  effect  of  War  upon  our  National  character,  and  Insti- 
tutions would  probably  be  great,  and  I hope  favorable.  That  we 
should  be  destined  to  enjo}-  a perpetual  Peace,  however  ardently 
humanity  might  desire  it,  cannot  reasonably  be  expected.  If  War  is 
is  not  the  natural  State  of  human  Society  at  all  time,  it  is  of  the  age 
upon  which  we  have  fallen.  The  Spirit  of  Ambition,  of  Glory,  and  of 
Conquest,  burns  in  Europe  with  an  intenseness  beyond  all  former 
example.  France  & England  are  equally  inflamed  with  it  and  con_ 
suming  under  it.  The  present  prime  minister  of  England,  who 
appears  to  be  firmly  rooted  in  that  Station,  has  openly  avowed  the 
purpose  of  endless  war.  France  without  making  the  profession,  has 
a Government  whose  temptations  to  War  are  far  more  alluring,  and 
whose  success  by  War,  has  been  far  more  fasinating  than  those  which 
have  inspired  the  British  Delirium.  The  result  is  however  the  same 
War  is  now  the  permanent  political  system  of  both  Nations,  and  Con- 
quest is  the  object  of  both.  Neither  our  distance  nor  the  intervening 
Ocean  can  or  will  protect  us  from  the  consequences  of  this  European 
Spirit,  and  its  application  sooner  or  later  to  ourselves,”  &c.

Only  i6y  copies  printed,  of  which  this  is  No.  iij,  10  of 
which  were  printed  on  fapa^i  paper.  This  editio?i  of  Don 
Quixote  is  a long-considered  tribute  to  the  memoiy  of  Cer- 
vantes. Every  effort  has  beeii  made  to  give  it  a character 
adequate  to  the  occasion.  The  text  is  that  of  Shelto?i,  the 
Elizabetha7i  translation  which  has  been  admitted,  by  all  dis- 
co ning  Cervantists,  to  be  the  one  wJdch  most  accurately  atid 
most  sympathetically  reproduces  the  strength  atid  charm  of 
the  original.  The  illustrations  are  by  the  late  Daniel  Vierge, 
and  they  represent  a labour  of  love — these  di'awmgs  by  the 
prince  of  modern  peti-draughtsmen  being  the  outcoine  of  an 
ambition,  which  he  cherished  throughorit  his  life,  to  provide  a 
pictorial  accontpainment  to  the  chief  liter aiy  yiionument  of  his 
native  land.

This  remarkable  collectio7i  of  Chinese  Rice  Paintings  de- 
scribed in  the  above  nine  lots  were  executed  by  a Chmese  artist, 
under  order  of  the  House  of  Wetmore  & Co.,  in  18/j.g,  who 
were  the^i  trading  largely  with  China.  The  name  of  the 
artist  is  not  known,  as  is  the  case  with  most  all  paintings  of 
this  class.  The  workmanship  is  superb,  and  the  subjects  of 
exceeding  mterest,  and  the  coloring  so  brilliant  and  enhancing

9 vols.  i2mo,  cloth.  V.  p.,  v.  d. 

This  is  a collection  of  novels  of  a recent  date  which  aroused 
heated  Religious  and  Sectional  controversy.  Those  by  Ihos. 
Dixon,  Jr.,  aroused  the  old  spirit  of  New  England  Abolitionism, 
and  were  roundly  denounced  on  account  of  the  stand  he  took 
against  the  negro  population  of  the  country,  his  denouncers 
thereby  increasing  his  popularity,  and  enrolling  him  with  those 
who  were  not  afraid  to  speak  the  truth,  no  matter  how  distasteful 
it  might  be.  The  others  aroused  religious  censure  on  account 
of  their  attacks  on  modern  Christianity  and  morals.  A set 
like  this  is  very  seldom  met  zvith  collectively.

673  Incunabula.  Fasciculus  Temporommes  antiquorum 
cronicas  completes. 

4to,  new  calf.  Circa,  1484 

The  author  was  Werner  Rolewinck,  a Carthusian  monk 
of  Laer,  in  Westphalia,  born  about  142^.  Pie  wrote  several 
treatises  on  theological  subjects,  and  this  compendium  of  the 
History  of  the  World.  The  first  edition  was  probably  one 
of  those  issued  by  Arnold  Ter  Hoernen  in  Cologne,  or  by 
Nicolas  Cots  in  the  same  city,  in  14/4.  The  first  has  the, 
date  in  the  colophon,  zuhile  the  latter  omits  it,  but  continues 
the  history  to  1474,  so  that  it  must  have  been  printed  not 
before  that  year.  Many  editions  were  printed  to  the  com- 
mencement of  the  sixteenth  century,  evidencing  its  great 
popularity.  This  edition,  ivithout  imprint,  is  printed  zvith 
the  types  of  Johann  Pruss,  of  Strassburg,  and  as  the  last 
date  is  1484,  zvas  printed  probably  about  that  year. 

The  zvoodcut  illustrations  are  interesting  examples  of  the 
art,  shozuing  the  transition  from  the  earlier  styles  of  the 
playing-card  maker  to  the  convential  manner  of  book  illus- 
trating. Like  all  the  earlier  illustrated  books,  one  cut  is 
made  to  represent  different  subjects.  In  the  cut  zvhich 
first  appears  as  Ninez'ch,  subsequently  re-appears  as  Athens, 
Rome,  Lyons,  Cologne,  etc.  In  the  same  zuay  the  cut  which 
at  first  represents  the  destruction  of  Sodom  and  Gomorrah 
also  serves  for  the  binning  of  Troy  and  the  destruction  of 
Babylon.  The  other  zvoodcuts  are  the  frontispiece,  showing 
the  author  presenting  the  book  to  the  Emperor.  The  figures 
of  our  Saviour,  a mermaid  and  a merman,  a cynocephalus 
and  three  figures  of  comets.

Extremely  rare.  Privately  printed  by  the  editor  at  a

man  whose  habit  was  to  preserve  every  fragment  of  ancient 
Scottish  literature  that  fate  chanced  to  throw  in  his  way. 
The  manuscript  is  printed  as  given  to  the  editor,  excepting 
that  the  orthography  has  been  somewhat  modernised,  and 
certain  passages  printed  in  full  “which  may  seem  rather 
luxuriant  to  the  censorious  reader  . . . but  which  if  they 
had  been  brought  dosvn  to  the  rules  of  decent  policy  would 
have  destroyed  the  original.”

the  time  of  the  publication  of  this  volume  a comparatively 
unknown  author.  Chapman  and  Hall  would  venture  on  but 
a very  small  edition  of  this  Book  of  Verse,  and  most  of 
them  remained  in  the  sheets  on  the  publishers  shelves  for 
several  years.  When  the  public  at  last  realized  that  a great 
zvriter  zcas  hi  their  midst,  they  clamored  for  this  forgotten 
volume  of  poems,  the  sheets  zvere  hurriedly  dusted  and  bound 
in  a cloth  approximating  to  the  original  as  nearly  as  possible, 
but  of  a smoother  surface,  and  a very  small  proportion  of 
buyers  obtained  copies.  Most  of  the  fezv  copies  that  occur 
in  either  the  auction  room  or  on  the  bookseller’s  shelves  are 
of  this  second  binding,  the  original  being  extremely  rare.

time . Itzvas  dedicated  to  the  four  Rossetti's,  alL  living  at  that 
time ; and  each  of  the  four  helped  me  in  some  way  on  the 
proof,  as  I was  in  great  pain  from  a recurrence  of  snow 
blindness  (just  ?)  as  1 recovered  from  overwork  in  Printing

Fine  tall  copy.  Very  scarce.  Contains  “To  the  Beholder 
of  this  Title”  generally  missing.  The  work  zvas  translated 
by  the  “still  resolute  John  Florio.”  This  translation  is  one 
of  the  great  landmarks  of  English  literature,  on  account  of 
the  purity  and  quaint  directness  of  the  language  employed; 
and  this  particular  edition  of  it  ( the  third ) is  the  one  which 
is  of  greater  literary  value  than  any  other,  because  it  is  the 
one  which  contains  Florio’s  last  corrections,  improvements 
and  additions.  It  is  consequently  the  standard  text  from

i2mo,  original  sheets,  unstitched  and  uncut,  in  full  crushed  morocco 
solander  case.  New  York,  Wiley  and  Putnam,  161  Broadway,  1845 

The  excessively  rare  First  Edition  in  book  form,  as  it 
was  issued  in  Wiley  and  Putnam’s  “Library  of  American 
Books,”  with  the  half  title,  in  the  original  sheets  uncut, 
and  probably  the  only  copy  in  this  condition  in  existence. 
It  has  also  the  four  pages  of  advertisements  at  the  back. 

Poe  first  sent  the  manuscript  of  the  Raven  to  the,  “Amer- 
ican Whig  Review.”  It  zvas  accepted  and  set  up  in  type 
' for  the  February  number,  1845.  The  editor  of  the  Review 
sent  a copy  to  N.  P.  Willis,  then  editor  of  the  Nezu  York 
“Evening  Mirror,”  who,  being  much  struck  with  it,  obtained 
permission  to  present  it  to  the  readers  of  his  paper,  and  it 
there  appeared  on  January  2Q,  1845,  preceded  by  the  follow- 
ing note  by  the  editor:  “We  are  permitted  to  copy  (in 
advance  of  publication)  from  the  second  number  of  the 
American  Review  the  following  remarkable  poem  by  Edgar 
Poe.  In  our  opinion,  it  is  the  most  effective  single  example 


’f5 

of  fugitive  poetry  ever  published  in  this  country,  and  un- 
surpassed in  English  poetry  for  subtle  conception,  masterly 
ingenuity  of  versification,  and  consistent  sustaining  of  im- 
aginative lift.  ...  It  is  one  of  those  ‘dainties  bred 
in  a book'  zvhich  tve  feed  07i.  It  will  stick  to  the  memory 
of  everybody  who  reads  it.”

dore J.  N.  A.  Nicholson,  Commandant,  Navy  Yard, 
Brooklyn,  L.  L 

The  original  order  of  arrest  for  William  M.  Tweed,  the 
notorious  New  York  politician  and  hoodler. 

“ W.  M.  Tweed  will  probably  arrive  in  the  U.  S.  S.  Franklin  during  the 
last  week  of  the  current  month.  Immediately  upon  the  report  of  the 
arrival  of  the  Franklin  in  the  lower  bay,  you  will  cause  the  yard  tug  to  be 
prepared,  and  you  will  personally  take  command  of  her,  and  receive  on 
board  District  Attorney  George  Bliss  and  Ben.  K.  Phelps,  W.  C.  Connor, 
Sheriff  of  the  City  and  County  of  New  York,  and  two  Confidential  Custom 
House  officers,  with  credentials  signed  by  Collector  of  Customs  Arthur,  of 
the  New  York  Custom  House.  No  other  persons  save  the  Pilot  and  usual 
crew  of  the  tug  must  be  permitted  to  board. 

“Upon  your  arrival  on  board  the  Franklin,  you  will  hand  the  Command, 
ing  Officer,  the  accompanying  communication  from  this  Navy  Depart- 
ment. 

“ The  Commanding  Officer  of  the  Franklin,  has  in  this  communication 


125 


been  directed  to  deliver  to  W.  C.  Cannon,  SheriflF  of  the  City  and  Count}'  of 
New  York,  the  body  of  the  passenger  from  Vigo,  supposed  to  be  W.  M. 
Tweed,  to  take  duplicate  receipts  for  him,  one  to  be  retained  by  the  Com- 
manding Officer,  and  one  to  be  forwarded  to  the  Department.  The  Com- 
manding Officer  has  also  been  authorized  to  deliver  to  the  Sheriff  of  the 
City  and  County  of  New  York  such  personal  baggage  of  the  supposed  W. 
M.  Tweed  as  was  not  delivered  into  his  hands  by  the  Spanish  authorities, 
but  only  after  said  baggage  shall  have  been  searched  and  examined  and 
passed  by  the  Custom  House  officers  selected  for  that  purpose. 

“ After  the  person  believed  to  be  W.  M.  Tweed,  together  with  his  personal 
baggage  as  before  referred  to,  shall  have  been  delivered  into  the  custody  of 
the  Sheriff,  you  will  be  pleased  to  receive  them  on  board  the  tug,  and  to 
land  them  at  such  wharf  as  may  previously  have  been  mutually  agreed  upon 
by  the  Sheriff  and  yourself  All  the  proceedings  herein  specified  are  to  be 
conducted  as  quietly  and  with  as  little  notoriety  as  practicable,  and  are  to  be 
confidential.  Telegraph  to  the  Department  when  Tweed  arrives.

8vo,  full  polished  light  calf,  gilt,  dentelle  borders,  gilt  edges,  by 

Reviere.  Edward  Moxon,  London,  1857 

Fine  copy  of  the  First  Edition  of  the  Pre-Raphaelite 
Tennyson,  now  scarce.  Tennyson  and  Moxon  projected 
this  edition,  and  it  is  believed  to  have  been  at  the  poet’P 
suggestion  that  the  artists  voere  chosen.  The  illustrations 
include  the  Lady  of  Shalott,  by  Hunt  and  Rosetti;  The 
Palace  of  Art  (2),  by  Rosetti;  Mariana  in  the  South,  and 
Sir  Galahad,  by  the  same;  Holman  Hunt  contributed  Ori- 
ana  (2),  Lady  Godiva,  The  Beggar  Maid,  and  tivo  others; 
Millais  drew  the  pictures  for  Mariana,  Dream  of  Lain 
, IV omen  (2),  Dora  (2),  St.  Agnes  Eve,  Locksley  Hall,  and 

several  others. 

Rosetti  s designs  are  fezver  than  the  others  by  the  Brother- 
hood, ozving  to  his  procrastination  and  the  many  corrections 
and  alterations  he  made  during  the  engraznngs  of  the  blocks,, 
absolutely  refusing  to  approve  anything  that  did  not  express 
exactly  the  idea  conveyed  by  his  drazving.  As  Rosetti’s 
art  was  distinguished  by  its  independence  of  rules  and  con- 
ventionalities, so  may  these  illustrations  of  his  be  found  not 
strictly  adhering  to  the  letter  of  the  text,  but  have  to  be. 
considered  as  examples  of  the  spirituality  and  intensity  of 
feeling  which  were  the  aim  of  the  Pre-Raphaelite  Brother- 
hood at  their  best  period.  Holman  Hunt’s  Lady  of  Shalott, 
Rosetti’s  St.  Cecelia,  and  Sir  Galahad,  the  sweetness  and 
simplicity  of  Millais’  St.  Agnes  and  Edward  Gray  stand 
I forth  prominently  among  the  illustrations.

An  interesting  series  of  letters,  mainly  undated,  from 
tvhich  the  folloiving  extracts  are  taken : 

Feb.  19,  1878  : “I  am  sorr}'  Howell  did  not  see  you  until  yester- 

day, which  accounts  for  my  receiving  your  letters — he  simply  gave 
you  this  cheque  of  mine  for  his  own  convenience — renewing  it  with 
you  by  the  payment  of  such  interest  as  you  charge  him.  He  also  tells 
me  that  he  has  discussed  with  you  the  question  of  m}’  needing  .,^150 
at  once  and  my  willingness  to  deposit  with  you  my  Carlyle  picture 
for  security,”  etc. 

Extract  from  a later  letter : 

‘‘I  enclose  copy  of  letter  from  Mr.  Howell — which  will  make  it 
clear  to  you  that  I am  myself  as  much  the  creditor  as  you  and  the  one 
far  away  most  agrieved.” 

Follozvcd  by  the  Copy  {which  is  in  Whistler's  hand :) 

April  26  ; ‘‘  From  what  I have  seen  of  you  I feel  every  confidence 

that  you  will  not  press  too  hardly  upon  me  in  Howell’s  matter — I am 
most  desirous  to  save  myself  from  being  put  to  law  expenses,  but  as  I 
have  no  money  I propose  your  taking  a picture  of  mine  and  holding  it 
as  security — breakfast  with  me,  say  on  Wednesday  next — and  we  will 
select  the  picture.” 

Extract  from  next  letter : 

‘‘Will  Thursday  suit  you  better — or  will  you  make  an  appoint- 
ment,” etc. 

Extract  from  next  letter : 

‘‘  I have  not  heard  from  you  at  all  in  answer  to  my  last  letter  asking 
if  you  would  appoint  your  own  morning  to  breakfast  with  me — fix  any 
morning  next  week  if  you  happen  to  be  engaged  for  the  next  few 
days,”  etc. 

May  31  : ‘‘I  am  shocked  to  hear  from  Mr.  Watts  that  he  has  re- 

ceived notice  from  your  lawyers  that  they  are  proceeding  with  the 
case — This  after  your  assurance  that  you  intend  to  treat  with  me  in  a 
friendly  spirit  is  astounding.  Surely  the  lawyer  must  be  doing  this 
without  your  instructions.  I have  been  expecting  a visit  from  you  as 
you  wrote  to  sa}’  that  you  were  coming — Will  }'OU  come  on  Monday  at 
2 o’clock — or  half  past  one  and  let  us  arrange  the  matter  as  I proposed. 

I have  seen  Howell  who  assured  me  you  had  settled  with  him  about 
a picture. — 

But  in  every  case  you  know  that  he  is  now  coming  into  the  mone}* 
for  his  house  and  this  liability  of  his  will  be  paid  off  the  first  thing — 

Pray  therefore  stop  the  lawyers  immediately.” 

The  final  act  in  this  little  drama  is  the  folloiving  note  from 
which  half  the  blank  sheet  has  been  torn,  not  injiirino  any 
writing  : 


“The  picture  shall  be  taken  to  you  to-morrow  ( Wednesday,  June 
5th)  at  about  12  or  i o’clock — Please  have  someone  there  to  receive  as 
I understand  that  when  you  are  out  others  in  the  same  building  are 
quite  indififerent  and  it  would  not  do  to  leave  the  picture  with  them. — 
Sincerely  yours  with  many  thanks  for  your  amiability. 

Jas  M’N  Whistler.”

amongst  which  they  suffered  Shipwrack ; And  also.  From

This  edition  of  Jonathan  Dickenson’ s narrative  of  ship- 
wreck and  captivity  among  the  Indians  of  Florida  is  even 

RARER  THAN  THE  FIRST  EDITION  OF  PHILADELPHIA.  The 

practically  unknown  fact  that  there  were  two  editions 
PRINTED  IN  1700,  one  containing  8g  pages,  and  the  other 
complete  in  8g  pages,  is  here  presented.  The  above  is  the 

LAST  NAMED  AND  IS  BY  FAR  THE  RARER  OF  THE  TWO. 

A comparison  of  the  Lenox  copies  of  the  tzvo  editions 


i6o 


shows  THAT  THE  TYPE  WAS  RESET  THROUGHOUT.  Sabin 
(No.  20,015)  describes  the  edition  of  8p  pages  (the  copy 
in  the  Library  of  Congress). 

With  the  exception  of  the  copy  in  the  Lenox 
Library  we  cannot  trace  another  copy  of  the  edition 
OF  85  PAGES. 

Mr.  Field  evidently  did  not  know  of  the  existence  of 
THIS  EDITION  WITH  85  PAGES,  as  he  makes  no  mention  of 
it,  although  in  mentioning  the  first  edition  of  idpp,  he  says 
of  the  I ‘poo  edition  (8p  pages)  that  . . . (it)  . . . “is 
almost  equally  rare,  at  least  I have  never  seen,  or  indeed 
heard  of  a copy.” 

The  author  and  his  wife,  who  resided  in  Jamaica,  joined 
the  Society  of  Friends  but  a short  time  before  embarking 
on  the  voyage  described  in  the  above  book.

EARLY  LIFE  OF  U.  S.  GRANT. 


1 1 13  Grant,  U.  S.  A batch  of  twelve  letters,  from  or  relat- 
ing to  G.  B,  Bailey,  whom  Grant  succeeded  as  a cadet  at 
West  Point,  and  who  afterward  was  killed  during  the  war 
when  fighting  as  a volunteer  officer,  his  death  being  de- 
scribed in  some  of  the  letters.  Bailey,  writing  from  Ports- 
mouth, Ohio,  to  a former  classmate  at  West  Point  of 
himself  and  Grant,  says,  under  date  of  January  3,  1858: 

“ Do  you  ever  see  any  of  our  old  West  Point  associates.  I heard 
from  U.  S.  Grant  lately.  He  has  left  the  army  and  is  quietly  settled 
on  a farm  near  St.  Louis.  * * He  was  a clever  fellow  in  many 
particulars,  bnt  sadly  addicted  to  spirits  of  late  years.”  Another 
letter,  dated  December  28,  1858,  from  Bailey,  says  : “ I saw  Captain 
Grant’s  father  a few  days  since.  You  recollect  U.  S Grant — the  old 
gentleman,  who  by  the  way  is  the  greatest  brag  I have  ever  m^ 
with,  informed  me  he  would  have  to  take  U.  S.  and  his  family  home 
and  make  him  over  again,  as  he  had  no  business  qualifications  what- 
ever— had  failed  in  everything — all  his  other  boys  were  good  busi- 
ness men,  &c. , &c.  The  truth  is  that  U.  S.  is  the  only  one  of  the 
family  that  has  any  soul  in  him.” 

As  a lot.

A.  Utricht,  Chez  Guillaume  Broedelet,  1607 

First  Edition.  A feiv  worm  holes  skillfully  repaired. 
The  plates  include  the  first  view  of  Niagara  Falls.  The 
maps  are  in  the  first  state,  and  it  has  the  duplicate  leaves. 
This  is  the  earliest  work  on  Western  History.  In  this 
edition  the  author  first  claims  the  credit  of  having  descended 
the  Mississippi  before  La  Salle.  Flis  claims  to  this  honor, 
however,  have  now  been  pretty  zvell  disproved,  though  it 
is  certain  he  was  on  the  Mississippi  in  1680,  zvhen  he  was 
captured  by  the  Sioux  Indians  and  kept  a prisoner  for  eight 
months.  His  accounts  of  the  Western  Indians  at  this  early 
date  are  of  the  greatest  historical  value,  since  during  his 
captivity  amongst  them  he  enjoyed  unequaled  opportunities 
for  observing  their  customs  and  habits  of  life.  Rare.

The  rare  First  Edition,  containing  the  blank  leaf  at  pages 
iii-iv.  Of  special  interest  as  an  early  Western  Imprint 
Bolton  says:  “This  valuable  work  is  now  scarce;  it  is  one 
of  the  most  authentic  books  on  the  subject,  and  is  the  source 
from  zvhich  many  subsequent  writers  have  borrowed  freely.’’ 
It  contains  also  the  publisher’s  note  (ivith  the  printer’s  im- 
print) often  missing,  which  states  that  the  part  of  this 
history  zvhich  relates  to  General  Winchester’s  operations 
in  the  Northwest  had  been  sent  to  him  and  had  aroused  his 
ire ; also,  “A  concise  exposition  of  facts  ...  is  now  in 
preparation,  and  will  be  published  for  the  satisfaction  of 
those  zvlio  seek  for  truth” 

The  author  of  this  history  was  one  of  the  first  Ken- 
tuckians to  join  the  Northwestern  Army  at  the  opening  of 
the  zvar,  and  was  in  active  service  until  its  close.  He  zvas

Has  fine  A.  L.  S.  of  the  author  to  Dr.  Theodore  R.  Beck, 
relating  to  the  work  and  introducing  Captain  S.  Eastman, 
tuho  illustrated  the  work. 

An  original  copy,  First  Edition  of  each  volume,  of  this 
most  valuable  encyclopcedia  of  information  on  the  Indians 
of  the  United  States,  now  very  rare.  It  was  commenced 
in  1847,  the  first  volume  issued  in  i8ji,  and  the  last  in 
^857,  thus  taking  ten  years  in  its  compilation.  The  history 
of  each  tribe  is  dealt  with,  their  habits,  customs,  supersti- 
tions, beliefs,  manufactures,  amusements,  sign  language, 
methods  of  communication,  modes  of  living,  etc.  Incorpo- 
rated are  narratives  of  trappers,  explorers,  missonaries  and 
traders  who,  having  lived  for  considerable  periods  among 
various  tribes,  zuere  the  best  authorities,  the  personal  ex- 
periences of  Mr.  Schoolcraft  himself,  gained  from  many 
exploratory  surveys  in  the  Far  West,  and  translations  of 
old  manuscripts,  diaries  and  documents. 

The  importance  of  having  the  First  Edition  of  each 
volume,  especially  of  the  first  volume,  is  a fact  that  cannot 
be  dwelt  on  too  much.  The  plates  in  the  first  volume,  zmth 
one  exception,  are  lithographs  drawn  and  colored  from  the 
original  drawings  and  coloring  of  Captain  Eastman.  In 
the  second  and  later  issues  they  are  steel  engravings,  cold 
and  hard  in  execution,  copied  from  the  plates  in  the  first 
volume  and  in  a few  cases  altered,  many  of  the  plates  rarely 
met  with  colored,  more  especially  the  views.  The  coloring 
for  reproducing  Indian  totem  marks,  Indian  drawings,  etc., 
is  indispensable.  The  fine  drawing  and  coloring  of  the  view 
of  Itasca  Lake,  and  equally  fine  design  and  coloring  of  the 
Indian  medicine  man  tending  a patient,  can  only  be  met 
with  in  the  first  issues.
